In her important role, Candice will oversee the training, support, and scheduling of our dedicated, skilled palliative care support volunteers at Cascade Hospice Residence, as well as providing essential support to palliative patients both in hospital and within the community. A key part of her position will also be to facilitate groupwork, with an emphasis on anticipatory grief and caregiver support, enhancing the services already offered by the Hospice Society‘s grief support programs.

Additionally, Candice is set to reintroduce vigil services, further enriching the care and support provided to individuals and families during the very last stages of life. Her new position marks a significant step in our commitment to delivering compassionate, empathetic, and comprehensive palliative care support services.
